Verified Answer :

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimensions of the photo is given by

\(20\ in.\ by\ 24\ in.\)

According to question, the photo is reduced so that the longer dimension is 15 inch.

So, Let the width of the reduced photo be x.

So, it becomes,

\(\frac{20}{x}=\frac{24}{15}\\\\x=\frac{15\times 20}{24}\\\\x=12.5\ in.\)

So, the width of the reduced photo is 12.5 inch.

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
